Russian legal consciousness and juridical objectivity during the nineteenth century a ‘glorious but tragic episode’, which foundered on ‘formidable and eventually insuperable obstacles’ (see Wortman, ‘Russian Monarchy and the Rule of Law: New Considerations of the Court Reform of 1864’, Kritika, 6, 1, 2005, pp. 145–70 [p. 147]). In her conclusion, Schur points to the reassertion of conscience over the rule of law as the ultimate Russian legal arbiter during most of the twentieth century: ‘the ultimate travesty’, as she writes, ‘of merciful justice’ (p. 152). Perhaps Shakespeare, Dostoevskii and Saltykov-Schedrin were correct to be wary of lawyers’ eloquence: Lenin was one, after all.

community and intelligentsia. Slavophiles and Westernizers, the writers of the so-called ‘National School’ of the 1840s, the ‘penitent nobleman’ trying to atone for his privileged status, and Russia’s early ethnographers and folklorists — all are seen afresh here. Many readers will also applaud Safran’s refusal to ‘exoticize’ Russia, her rejection of the ‘ideologically laden binaries’ endorsed by believers in Russian exceptionalism, and the attention she pays instead to ‘the everyday experiences mid-century Russians shared with people of their class elsewhere’ (p. 11).

Abstract:By analysing the discourse of the newspaper Libertatea, this article offers the first study dedicated to the role played by the 'poporală' press in promoting antisemitism and extreme right movements in the rural environment of interwar Romania. Between 1919 and 1925, Libertatea constructed a so-called Jewish problem specific to the Romanian context and promoted parties or political movements that promised to save Romania from a perceived Jewish threat. Special attention was paid to the antisemitic student movements and their leaders, Corneliu Zelea Codrenu and Ion I. Moța, and in this way, Libertatea contributed to the preparation for the later reception of the Legion of the 'Archangel Michael' and the messianic-political figure of C. Z. Codreanu in the Romanian countryside.
摘要:本文通过分析《自由报》(Libertatea)的话语，首次研究了在两次世界大战之间的罗马尼亚农村环境中，“大众报”在促进反犹主义和极右运动中所起的作用。在1919年至1925年间，Libertatea根据罗马尼亚的具体情况构建了所谓的犹太人问题，并推动了承诺将罗马尼亚从犹太人的威胁中拯救出来的政党或政治运动。对反犹学生运动及其领导人Corneliu Zelea Codreanu和Ion I. Moța给予了特别的关注，Libertatea以这种方式为后来在罗马尼亚农村接待“大天使迈克尔”军团和救世主政治人物C. Z. Codreanu做出了贡献。

on more amorphous, cross-generic and multi-media modes of expression such as satire. Published in December 2021, three months before the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Satire and Protest in Putin’s Russia unwittingly gives us a snapshot of Russian culture at the end of one fraught era and just before the onset of a new, even more frightening period in its development. In that regard, it should prove especially valuable when read alongside recent work on Russian humour and satire in the run-up to, and in the wake of, Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine by Eliot Borenstein, Mark Lipovetsky, Gasan Guseinov and others.

Catherine Gibson’s carefully researched and original book opens new avenues for analysing the history of the Baltic littoral. Timely published in a year when knowledge and understanding about Russia’s western borderlands is much needed, it is, except for some cloudy sentences, a good read for students and will be of great interest to historians of science and cartography, as well as of Central Europe and the Russian Empire.

Abstract:This article develops Reinhart Koselleck's concept of 'sediments of time' processually, as sedimentation and erosion of the social and physical indicators of the presence of Self- and Other-identifying communities through time. We expand the concept of the 'fluidity' of ethnic or national identities to include viscosity, the resistance of a liquid to flowing freely. Group identities may be viscous, changing slowly and maintaining much continuity through time. Fluidity thus becomes a variable quality, not simply a binary opposite of 'fixed'. Using this model we analyse developments in five towns newly founded by the Ottoman empire in 1862–63 on the northern border of Bosnia, to house Muslims expelled from Serbia and reinforce the border with the Habsburgs in places where few Muslims were then living. Throughout, the populations of the towns were largely self-distinguishing between Muslims (Bosniaks), Roman Catholics (Croats), and Orthodox Christians (Serbs). By 2013, only one settlement was still majority Muslim (now Bosniak), one was majority Croat, two majority Serb, and one nearly equal in Serb and Bosniak populations; though other balances had obtained in earlier periods. To explain the flow of social interactions through time in these towns we develop a model drawn from fluid dynamics, of the differences between the laminar flows of liquids that seem smooth but are composed of layers of differing composition that do not much intermix, and turbulence, when such laminar flows meet an obstruction. Interactions between members of ethnoreligious communities may also flow with apparent smoothness, yet in a laminar fashion. When events occur that disrupt this flow, by newly created borders or the transformation of jurisdictional boundaries into barriers, the resulting turbulence, often violent, may lead to the separation of some of the layers, possibly into new forms of laminar flow. By paying attention to the varying ways in which physical and social indictors of such communities have developed through time in five contrasting locations, we gain a better understanding of wider historical processes that continue to be in play.
